The Truth About Carlock - 9 months and 2 cars later

Carlock 10% Discount Code = WORKPLAYDR10 for use on Amazon - amzn.to/3l6oXut
Today’s video is on Carlock. I’m sure you’ve seen their product in tons of social media posts as I did. Last year curiosity got the best of me, and I contacted them to see if I could get one. In December of last year, Carlock hooked me up with the Carlock device and service, and I’ve been testing it over the previous 9 months. …and by testing, I mean using it daily on my vehicles.
Products seen in This video
1. Carlock 2nd gen Advanced Tracker - amzn.to/3l6oXut
2. Carlock Tag - amzn.to/3a2bQUY
3. Carlock optional power connector - amzn.to/2ZUkW4f

5. Energizer Lithium 2016 coin Battery - amzn.to/3ozmtXP
6. Battery Tender Plus - amzn.to/3A8Xywd
In this video, I will cover what Carlock can do for both a daily driver and a garage queen. How easy it is to install, along with other more discrete install options. How to use Carlock and how to use the Carlock Tag to make the product even better.
I’ll also cover some of the things that annoy me about the product! I’ve had a lot of time to use Carlock, so this is not going to be one of those videos where you watch someone read the package to you and say, “this is great; buy it now. “

My car battery just gotten stolen for the second time in the last 7 months and seeing this I’m definitely going to give this a try

[@ScoTreVan]

Great video which confirms what I hoped as a new user to Carlock Products here in the UK (Scotland), I also have the tag and the new vibration sensor for added security, the only one thing I wish they had, is a plan that links more than one device i.e. a 2nd device hidden in the vehicle, they tell me they have no plans yet other than buying a separate device & plan, but other than this I am well pleased with the devices, thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@boolife7927]

Thank you my brother, your review on the car lock was way better then other videos I seen, and alot of them don't even talk about the monthly cost.

[@investigator6203]

I didn't hear him say if the battery was rechargeable or not but if not, do you have to keep buying batteries for it, and you would think the company would have built it to charge rather than battery replacement.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

@boo life thank you The battery inside the car lock device recharges itself as it’s powered by the vehicle.

[@investigator6203]

@@WorkPlayDrive I thought I saw something in the video about keeping a extra battery on you but I will have to look at the video again in the morning, but anyway if the car charges the battery that would be awesome and then I would just have to find someone that can mount or hide it behind the dash, and thanks for getting back to me.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

The CarLock tag accessory that uses a Bluetooth connection to your phone to enable/disable CarLock automatically requires a cr2016 battery that lasts about 6 months. While it would be convenient if the battery dies it doesn’t impede the functionality of CarLock. They are the size of a quarter and cost less than a buck

[@ljcor1899]

Very good review… carlock looks to work well but would be great to have a kill switch as part of their product offering. It’s great you can be alerted when some one tries opening your car and if taken it can track your car but once it’s taken note sure it’s comes back in one piece…. Also having a loud car alarm that can go off when the car is tampered with would be welcome as well.. ( other than the OEM one )….

Thank you for your review. It was helpful. One question. Do you have to buy a carlock device for each vehicle or do you have to move it between vehicles. Like you, I have more than one vehicle I'd like to protect.

[@DMZman]

Great review! What size fuse did you add to the inlay on the battery please? I can't seem to find anywhere online mentioning an amperage, thank you

[@WorkPlayDrive]

I have a 3 amp five and only the CarLock is connected.

[@SCMPractitioner]

Is CarLock running on the 3g network? Would there be a 4g LTE option in the plan?

[@coolwrld302]

Nice video. So when it provides a low voltage alert will the Carlock actually stop working or will it keep working up until it theoretically kills the battery past the point the car won't start? My concern is that my car will some time sit a week to 2 weeks in between starting and I don't generally keep a trickle charger on the car so if the Carlock keeps functioning after the alert it will mean I basically have to start charging. Also is the voltage level adjustable for the setting it looks for or is that hard coded in the app?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

The voltage level is not adjustable, but the Carlock will continue to work at a low voltage, I got as low as 11.5. never took it further...

[@investigator6203]

You must live somewhere were that the temperature is warm all year

[@tybuddmckinley4496]

Good and informative video. What number fuse did you use?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

If it’s just a CarLock by itself, either a five amp or a 7.5 amp is perfect.

Thanks for such a great review. Maybe I missed it but I am wondering if you can trigger the car alarm from the app when you get a notification of any sudden vibration?

CarLock is a stealthy device to notify you when something is happening. It does not have an audible alarm inside the vehicle.

Great video ! I’ve been using CarLock on my Challenger for about a week now ….. BUT …. My vibration detection only works about half the time ….. also, the engine start and movement alerts are no where near as fast as yours…… engine start sometimes is fast and sometimes up to a minute ……. Movement alert is much slower, probably activates after I’ve driven a few blocks. Any remedies for this ?? I have the extension cable off the OBD port and just stuffed the device up under the plastic under the wheel (not mounted to anything )

[@WorkPlayDrive]

For vibration detection, I recommend placing it against or securing it to the metal of the car so vibrations can resonate. If it’s floating around you’re not going to get the best results. Regarding the delays. On rare occasion, I experience up to a minute delay, but it doesn’t happen all the time. I would say if it keeps happening, maybe contact their support team

[@firedude911]

@@WorkPlayDrive thank you !! do you know if the car has to be running for the movement alert to work and map location? For example, if it is towed or pushed by another vehicle when not running

[@ssparrrkyy]

Hi. Where in Challenger is a good place to put the Carlock besides the OEM OBD location? Ty.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

With the dongle you can hide it anywhere. amzn.to/3RXcJ4Q My only recommendation is to attach it to something metal that is attached to the body of the car. This will make sure when somebody slams the door or bangs the car it will trigger the shock alert. For example your seat framing you can tap in to the power under there for the power seats. You can hide it in the center console and tap into the always on power port.

[@scuba6458]

What happens when I stop for coffee. I leave it running, get out and lock the car and take the key with me. Will it start the countdown while I'm in the store and flash the lights? Thanks for the video, great job!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

If you leave with the keys, whether you lock it or not, it will start the countdown and it will lock the brakes. It will not flash the lights until you get in and try to put it in drive. The only thing that will flash is the interior flashers.

[@coolwrld302]

Forgot to ask in previous comment. Did you do any kind of testing with Carlock and something else connected to the OBD network at the same time like maybe a code scanning tool? So I have a code scanning tool that can also provide sort of a dashboard to a mobile device to display multiple gauges on the same screen. One of the biggest short comings of the Uconnect system and Performance Pages is that you can customize the display to show the gauges you are interested in on a single page. I have a 9 inch tablet that I run in my car and with the OBD scanning tool I have a customized interface. Just wondering how they would both work with say the Carlock in the trunk on the bypass cable and the scanning tool in the actual OBD port.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Carlock doesn't need the OBD port at all, only power. You can grab this power connector amzn.to/2ZUkW4f and simply wire it to an always on circuit then stash the Carlock somewhere in the car. I recommend attaching the device to the frame or body of the car for the best results with impact detection.

[@coolwrld302]

@@WorkPlayDrive So for the car starting alert is that triggered by a drop in voltage? I assumed that's why it needed the OBD port so it knew when the car was started.

Car start is triggered by the jump in voltage. 12v at rest and 14+ when running.

Sensitivity is based on placement. To the best of my knowledge Carlock is not sensitive enough to detect light hits over the entire car. However you seem to have the same level of OCD that I do. I received a dash cam for testing this morning that has AI assisted impact detection. It will supposedly let you know an impact was detected and where on your vehicle it happened. It also flags the recording so it’s easy to find in the app. This cam won’t notify you in real time but when you get back to the car it will notify you on what happened.

I’m not sure the reasoning behind cellular back up other than for people who don’t have data plans on their phones and can’t run the app. The CarLock is an actually doing anything on the bus. It’s just connected to the OBD port for power.

[@misqpl]

@@WorkPlayDrive cellular would be used to triangulate location in case GPS is jammed or spoofed.

[@ricflair1768]

I’m an idiot on electrical. Plugging this into the port doesn’t work for me as the first thing thieves do is plug in the port. How easy is it to hook to the battery? You mentioned a fuse but again- I’m an idiot.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

You will need to connect this to an always on power connection. If you’re not good with electrical maybe call in a buddy to assist?

[@itsnatty]

2:14 do all cars have OBD port in the trunk?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

No, that’s the Z automotive double bypass. It allows you to bypass the security module that Dodge added in 2018. Here’s my install video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5SohH-FeNCamLs

What is even the post of having a hellcat when the computer parent yells at you for speeding 😒 but still thanks for showing me where my parents could put something like this

[@kodi336]

That sound would be a no go. Standing in line at the store and you all of a sudden your phone sounds like a 5 alarm radioactive explosion warning… no thanks. Make it so you can pick the sound and alert style I’m in. Also make it unlock the car as I approach. Maybe it does and I missed it? Great idea but that sound is a no go.

[@jasonkav]

If your having alarms when trickle charging why not just put it in battery storage mode through unconnect

[@davidschroderflip4952]

Looks like my comment was removed. Why??

[@michaelcortez2163]

What size fuse do you use?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

5 amps is perfect for the CarLock.

[@STARFIGHT88]

Will this work If your phone is 4g but your challenger is 3g...

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Your phone is connecting to the CarLock online service so as long as your phone has Internet service you’re good to go

[@STARFIGHT88]

@@WorkPlayDrive cool...thanks man

[@activatedcarbon158]

It’s cool and all but the purpose of a car and item alarm is to discourage the thief from stealing..so they should hear that annoying sound too mostly lol..

[@WorkPlayDrive]

This is a tracking and monitoring device. It’s meant to be undetectable to anyone other than the owner. Allows you to ensure your family is driving safe, make sure your service tech is not out joyriding and locate your car when stolen. If it makes noise they can find it and remove it

[@Bobby-zu2gt]

Can I have two Carlock devices connected to one iPhone?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Yep I have 2 cars connected to my iPhone. You can easily flip between vehicles and regardless of the one you are using both will send notifications.

[@VQBOSS]

Would I be able to shut off the engine

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Not with CarLock

[@BigBlockRick-gy6ym]

Don’t like the “pay for delay” 30 seconds is standard…it costs a lot more for a 15 second delay. This means a criminal gets a 30 second head start on you.

[@jonb4333]

Huge news with the "allow critical alerts". Just had some thieves break into my car and try to steal my airbag. Thankfully they didn't get it, but it would have been nice to know at between 9:30 PM and 7 AM and have an alarm go off.

[@agentmuzz]

Too bad it doesn't disable starting.

The next update on Tazer will disable the vehicle. Tazer DT on TRX. Locks the brakes and wont let you move.

I would love to have a product that works like it says. That being said, I will not buy one. If you go to the product page and look at the pictures of people reviewing, you will see that many have been paid or received a free product. How do I know? When you take a picture of your car with the box as advertising, that in short summery is fake advertising. I did this myself. A few companies reached out to me and asked if I would try their product and all I had to do to get t free was leave a positive review and take a photo with the box in the photo. Read the 1 star reviews.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

I get it, and agree it’s hard to read through the BS and get to the real reviews. I do not give good reviews for free products. I’ve been using CarLock now in 2 of my vehicles for a few years and in my area NY/NJ it works well. I get my notifications quickly usually under 15-30 seconds The CarLock tag is the only product that annoys me with 6 month battery changes. Best thing I can recommend is try it from Amazon. The free month and amazon return eliminates the risk.

[@Josh_James76]

@@WorkPlayDrive I agree. Its tempting. I may break down and try it.

[@fallendrez]

Our mopars already come with LoJack from dealership that’s lifetime tracking speed alerts geofencing maintenance schedules car report location amount of gas angle of wheels tire pressure places u went and time average speed high speed all activity so what’s the point in car lock, it doesn’t remote kill your car so it’s pointless plus you have to have a monthly subscription🤷🏾‍♂️

[@WorkPlayDrive]

The OEM option is also subscription based. CarLock has additional features not offered by the OEM services.

Drone vs Carlock?

[@Gigantortacoma4x4]

Unfortunately, the company has terrible technical support hopefully you won't need their assistance.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

When I test product I often contact their support directly and they answered my questions pretty quickly. What happened with your support instance?

[@Shiftwyd]

So far it sucks, don’t even get me started

[@WorkPlayDrive]

What’s sucks? 🫥

[@Shiftwyd]

@@WorkPlayDrive CarLock, imo, too delayed

[@WorkPlayDrive]

If it’s ight out of the box, you gotta give it a few days of driving to kind of home in according to their app. After that mines been pretty spot on notifications come within 10 to 15 seconds. If this continues definitely reach out to Support they are really cool and responsive

VERY FREAKING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT IT ALL THE FIRST GO AROUND,,, AND THATS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU. NOW,,,,,I LIKE IT ,,,,""BUTT"""!! '

[@ShaneWasserman]

Hey dude! Great video as always. Super informative, extremely well produced and excellent quality. I was wondering if one of the Z Automotive Double Bypass kits would work to install this in the trunk of a Charger? This would be in addition to a TaZer already installed.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

It will work but it's not necessary to spend that much on the connector, the Carlock only needs power so this Power connector is a better option - amzn.to/2ZUkW4f
